The officer is not wearing a mask and makes no attempt to cover his face. He walks past the woman and two others standing on the grass while loudly coughing a few more times.

Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison reviewed the video along with the footage from the officer's body camera and blasted his actions.

"After watching the full video, in its entirety, it is not only disturbing but incomprehensible, especially considering the high-level of strong and clear guidance that we have provided from the beginning regarding COVID-19," said Harrison. "Members are always expected to be sensitive and professional to the community, but what we saw in the video is alarming because this pandemic is affecting lives not only nationally, worldwide, but right here in our own police department."
